New.War and Peace centers broadly on Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812 and follows three of the best-known characters in literature: Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a count who is fighting for his inheritance and yearning for spiritual fulfillment; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, who leaves behind his family to fight in the war against Napoleon; and Natasha Rostov, the beautiful young daughter of a nobleman, who intrigues both men. As Napoleon's army invades, Tolstoy vividly follows characters from diverse backgrounds—peasants and nobility, civilians and soldiers—as they struggle with the problems unique to their era, their history, and their culture. And as the novel progresses, these characters transcend their specificity, becoming some of the most moving—and human—figures in world literature.Pevear and Volokhonsky have brought us this classic novel in a translation remarkable for its fidelity to Tolstoy's style and cadence and for its energetic, accessible prose.

Vintage, December Date: 2008. Paper Back. New. Categorized by Henry James as one of the 'loose baggy monsters' of the nineteenth century, <i>War and Peace</i> epitomizes the intimidating 'classic' collecting dust on the shelf, often begun and just as often left half-done (or never done at all). In the words of translator Richard Pevear, 'It is there, like a vast, unexplored continent, and all sorts of daunting rumors circulate about life in the interior. But once you cross the border, you discover that the world of <i>War and Peace</i> is more familiar and at the same time more surprising than the rumors suggested.' So be brave dear readers. This newest translation of Tolstoy's hulking masterpiece is rendered by the gifted Pevear and Volokhonsky (a husband-wife team of literary renown), who seem especially capable of balancing the literal with the faithful. Besides the figurative war Tolstoy makes between the French and Russian languages (at times, whole pages are transcribed in French and must be translated in the footnotes), there is nothing difficult about the text itself. Tolstoy is known for his depiction of people and their relationships with each other. He is a historian, yes, but he is a novelist first. What makes <i>War and Peace</i> so satisfying and frustrating is its striking correspondence to real life. It's a jumble of love and dejection, drudgery and invigoration, confusion and ...
